Health updates and recovery: Riley had season-ending core surgery in 2025 and was expected to be ready for spring training in 2026, with reports indicating he was fully recovered and in good shape heading into that offseason. However, there were concerns about durability after back-to-back injury-shortened seasons, which affected his 2024–25 outlook. This context suggests Braves fans were watching closely for how fully he could rebound in 2026.[1][3]

2025 season wrap: He finished the 2025 season with a .260/.309/.428 line, 16 homers, 54 RBI in 447 plate appearances before the season-ending surgery, marking a pause in his run of durability but leaving room for a return to prior production if health holds.[1]
